Reducing the Risk of Alzheimer's: Aluminum and the Brain - Paperback

by Michael Savage (Author)

A book primarily for people who want to do everything in their power to avoid getting Alzheimer's disease.

Alzheimer's is the seventh leading cause of death among all ages and the sixth leading cause for those aged sixty-five and older. It assaults the brain, the human organ for which there is no transplant remedy. The disease condemns mature adults to living with debilities so awful that life with a degenerating brain sometimes seems worse than death.

The disease is a twentieth-century phenomenon. Autopsies of persons who die of Alzheimer's reveal a higher concentration of aluminum in the brain than in people who die of other causes. Dr. Savage shows how we have been literally poisoning ourselves by ingesting aluminum.

We live in a world in which we deal with new discoveries too slowly. We're out to prolong and improve our own lives. We're in favor of early warning systems that work.

That's what this book is. It brings together all the available evidence about the causes of Alzheimer's and, more importantly, what we can do right now, starting today, to reduce the chances of us or our loved ones getting this dreaded disease. It also describes the innovative medical procedures that may reduce Alzheimer's at an early stage.

Alzheimer's is not going away, but there are easy things you yourself can do to reduce the risk to yourself and your family of getting a truly dreadful disease. The answer is in your hands right now.
